Fuji Natura 1600 samples

[LKSC]

IIRC, any film that is DX-coded at 1600 will engage the "Natura" mode on the Natura cameras - flash is automatically turned off and film is given about 2 stops overexposure, as raid says, but lowest shutter speed in that mode is limited to 1/45s. I recall some posts in Japanese forums about using DX labels/ sharpie to trick the camera to do this. In normal usage, lowest shutter speed is 1 second.

When I shoot Natura 1600 in an M7, an ISO of 1000 works best for me.

Cool. Now I wish I had kept my Natura camera, but this is history.

If the Natura film is coded to cause the Natura camera to overexpose +2 stops, I wonder that means the true ISO of Natura film is really 400. But that conclusion conflicts with the good results obtained in Sockeyed's photos, presumably rated at 1600. Can someone clarify for me?

Peter.

When a roll of film with the DX code 1600 or higher is loaded, the camera will be set to NP mode - no auto-flash, +2EV ex-comp, 1/45sec limited slow shutter speed.

Sockeyed, I found the negs!

Marke - I always give my colour neg a slight push - 1/3 of a stop most of the time. Careful meeting helps too - bright lightbulbs can really throw AE off if you're using it. Manual metering really helps.

Hope you find your negs!

I found it yesterday, and I hadn't even processed the film yet! 😱 And I took another look in my basement freezer, and found 9 more rolls!!! 😀

Here's one at a local cafe. MP & Summilux 50/1.4
